Kalamein Lot-Line Windows
For conditions that require a fire-rated window, Capitol Fireproof Door manufactures a 45-minute BSA approved kalamein steel-clad lot-line window. Lot-line windows are primarily used as a fire barrier between two buildings that face each other. They are used in apartments, hallways, stairwells and roof bulkheads. Kalamein windows contains a fire that may spread to adjoining buildings. Our lot-line windows utilize a fusible link, which when heated to a certain temperature, melts and drops the window sash to a closed position, which contains the fire.
Top or bottom kalamein sash can be fabricated and retro-fitted into existing kalamein windows. This allows the sash to be replaced without having to replace the entire window.
